Good perspective from a Roman Catholic source.

Interesting too that nowhere in the bible is there a mention of an infallible Pope.

Truth is truth regardless of the source. “All truth is God’s truth...” Jesus Himself said He Himself IS the truth.....

And actually - the main reason He came was to TESTIFY to the truth (John 18:37) - which, when He stated this to Pilate motivated Pilate to ask, “What is truth?” - implying that truth could not be known or determined.

Satan’s greatest deceptions are truth mixed with hidden or subtle lies. This is what the Prosperity Gospel is - though to most believers, the lies are fairly obvious. Only the naive and self-motivated buy into them.....

Thanks for finding and posting this! I've seen those Osteen "commercials", and apparently he now (along with his pastor wife) has a broadcast show/channel on XM or whatever...

This article explains very well what I couldn't quite figure out about many of the "mega-Church" preachers and ministries...so many people become involved with them, but they make me a little bothered and uneasy because something doesn't ring quite true...

On a lighter note, time to change my tag-line...DONE! Great job, fellow FReepers!

Thanks for this. I don’t remember Jesus saying, “Take up thy electric blanket and follow Me.”
